A Hooters spokesman confirmed this morning that Green Bay’s Hooters restaurant at 2611 Holmgren Way will close May 28.

That’s the same day the Hooters in Grand Chute will close, as first mentioned in The Buzz on Tuesday. It is at 1271 N. Casaloma Drive.

“Hooters and franchise operators continuously evaluate the business performance of restaurants. On occasion, circumstances regretfully lead to closing a location,” said national spokesman Scott Yates.

He did not indicate if the closures were isolated or widespread in the chain.

In Grand Chute, store manager Mike Neumann said insufficient sales prompted the local closings. He said Hooters restaurants in other parts of Wisconsin remain open. There are locations in Brookfield, Madison, Janesville and La Crosse.

National spokesman Yates said the chain is actively opening new restaurants in the US and around the world. “Hooters of America, LLC is the franchisor and operator of more than 412 Hooters restaurants in 44 states and 27 foreign countries.”
